masterful maneuver;
shrug in subtle shudder

shivers sweep
callous creep
and liar's keep
living deep,
we're all sheep
and death's reap
scathes our existence,
there's no resistance.
persist to submit
life in the pit
ain't no summit,
it sure is shit.

concede to conform
contrive the norm,
secrets are hidden;
secrets stay hidden.

stumbling, without sight
blinded by the blazing light
tripping on a tombstone
man falls forward to atone,
and stumbles
on a secret stone.

man regains his consciousness
finds he is amiss,
finds himself in nowhere land
with nothing else but sand.

man stumbles forth
across the earth,
knows he's lost his worth
as kindle for the hearth.

with senses five
he knows he can survive,
he struggles yet he thrives,
he doesn't know when he'll arrive.

trail to bliss
on a blazing path,
avoid the abyss
or behold its wrath.
